Poor planning.
Pilot forgets to account for headwind, or forgets how much fuel he used last time he flew it, etc.

P.S. Post picks of the sweet track car.
It's a 1978 911SC with suspension mods and a few engine tweaks. I sold it, and the car currently belongs to Magnus Walker. You can find a good video of it on Youtube!

After I've done my welding course I might start making groovy one-off ornate gates for sale. Sort of a small business. I'll call the business Bill Gates. If that's successful I'll start making foundations for houses, commercial buildings etc and I'll call that business Bill Gates foundation..

The fuel gets very low in the tank and the pump can't suck any more out so the engine stops....

If I saw you driving down the road in that truck, and this 1947 pan head was sitting in the back, I would have to shoot myself to release the jealousy.

Not 90%, but running out of gas, and flying into bad weather accounts for over 50%.
Both easily avoided. Shameful stats.

First pics are of off-the-shelf shelters crushed under 2 feet of snow. I made my own, hand-bent and welded together e- conduit, face made of old silkscreen frames welded together. had to make the hoops on my second floor and lower them down. Getting it square on a 3D decline was a *****. Not shown is the front finished with Lexan in the triangle and more wood paneling, and the master hay tarp to cover all 46 feet of it.
